1. Confidential information

During employment the Employee will learn non-public information about the Company's business, customers, finances, products and plans. The Employee will use it only to do their job and will not disclose it to anyone outside the Company, during or after employment.

2. Return of property

When employment ends, or sooner if asked, the Employee will return all Company documents, devices and data and will not keep copies.

3. What this does not restrict

Nothing here stops the Employee from reporting a possible violation of law to a government agency, or from discussing wages and working conditions where the law protects that.

4. General

This agreement is governed by the laws of [state]. It is the entire agreement between the parties on its subject and may be changed only in writing signed by both. It may be signed electronically and in counterparts.
